Plastic Economy Redesign to Embrace Sustainable Future

HOSOKAWA ALPINE AG

Shampoo bottles and cosmetics packaging, sausage and cheese packaging, plastic bags, cling film -they all end up in the recycling bin or are delivered directly to recycling centres. The aim is to recycle as much of this packaging waste as possible and return it to the cycle. A new process from Hosokawa Alpine now ensures that the plastics from this packaging waste can be reused as post-consumer recyclate. The shredding, washing, separating and drying steps produce washed and dried flakes that can be used to manufacture new plastic products.

ENMA GRANULATOR (CHINA) CO., LTD.

EnMa FR sereis film online and offline recycling technology, online granulating recycling can reach 600 meters per minute, offline granulating recycling can crush large sized lumps and rollers of waste film material, and transport them to a 150-meter-away extruder for reproduction. The crushed products have almost reached an impeccable state. No matter what shape of plastic films, blocks, sheets, etc., we have exceeded your imagination through different feeding forms and special designed cutting knives. Let the defective products in the factory regain “new life”.

ANHUI SINCERE MACHINERY CO., LTD.

Waste tire rubber powder equipment machine : composed by the decomposition of waste tire powder crushing, screening unit composed of magnetic carrier. Through the decomposition of waste tire facilities, tire processing into small pieces, and then crushing mill of the rubber block, rubber powder to be mixed wire; then powder magnetic separator, the steel and rubber powder separated completely. Through the feeding device through two sieve beds filter out the fine material and then by magnetic roller, magnetic separation of a steel wire, Preparation of 10 mesh fineness of the purity of-40mesh powder(fineness optional).This processing technology,there is no air pollu-tion,no waste water,low operation cost.

ALBA ASIA PLASTICS RECYCLING LIMITED

ALBA has developed the third-generation municipal household waste treatment technology, known as Green Fuel Technology, which goes beyond landfill and direct incineration. With this technology, all the recyclables from the municipal household waste are mechanically sorted and recovered for recycling. Through Mechanical-Biological Treatment (MBT), the rest of the fraction from the municipal household waste is biologically stabilized and dried, and with the hazardous substances removed to produce a type of clean fuel with a high calorific value (3,000-4,500 kcal/kg), also known as Green Fuel. Research has shown that this technology can maximize the total recycling rate of municipal household waste by up to 98%.

USEON TECHNOLOGY LIMITED

Underwater pelletizing system is good for most of polymers. Especially for TPU and TPV or similar elastomer, its advantage plays well. USEON can provide complete compounds production lines with underwater pelletizing system, such as TPU/TPV production line. We have launched more than 100 compounding lines with underwater pelletizing system. Comparing with other pelletizer, underwater is more compacted which is obvious when the output is huge. The size of final pellets also can be better controlled. This system consists of melt pump, filter, Diverter valve, die head, underwater pelletizer, water circulating system, and dewater system.

NATUREWORKS, LLC.

The joint development between NatureWorks and CJ Biomaterials is focusing on developing biobased, low carbon solutions that combine Ingeo™️ PLA with amorphous PHACT™️ PHA in order to broaden the performance attributes available for compostable rigid and flexible packaging and food serviceware applications. The new solutions will also aim to speed up biodegradation to introduce more "after-use" options consistent with a circular economy model.

SHANGHAI KUMHO-SUNNY PLASTICS CO., LTD.

In the context of global carbon reduction and emission reduction, post-consumer recyclable plastics, namely Post-Consumer Recycling (PCR) materials, are of great significance in reducing plastic pollution, reducing carbon emissions and promoting the circular economy. Ecoblend is based on strict control of recycled plastic sources, through deep modification technology to give new life to recycled materials, effectively reduce the carbon footprint of products, and meet the requirements of office equipment, consumer electronics, automotive, packaging and many other industries.

SK CHEMICALS CO., LTD.

ECOTRIA CR is the circular recycle™ copolyesters that are ready to 'drop-in'. Circular recycle™ is SK chemicals' outstanding chemical recycling method that presents an advanced now-working solution for the plastic issue. Firstly, Circular recycle™ triples the quantity of renewable plastic waste. Since the circular recycling process includes a clarifying process at the monomer level, it can use much more plastic waste with low quality like colored bottles, films, or fabrics while the conventional mechanical recycling process can only use high-quality plastic waste like transparent bottles. Secondly, Circular recycle™ provides high-quality recycled plastic that is identical to virgin plastic. With high clarity and performance, ECOTIRA can cover all existing PETG/PCTG applications and sometimes even ABS or SAN with Claro grade very easily. Thirdly, It's already on hand! Commercialized in November 2022, ECOTRIA has been stably supplied to customers for more than 1 year now. Also, by establishing SK shantou, SK chemicals have internalized r-BHET producing facility, leaving no doubt about the stable supply.

SI GROUP-SHANGHAI TRADING LTD.

EVERCYCLE is SI Group’s new platform of additive solutions with specific focus to increase the sustainability of plastic and to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
